Acting Environmental Protection Agency administrator Andrew Wheeler.
Susan Collins, the moderate Republican from Maine, said Wednesday that she will not vote to confirm Wheeler to the position atop the agency. Neither will Joe Manchin III, the centrist Democrat from coal-producing West Virginia, after voting Wednesday against advancing Wheeler's nomination in the Senate.
Collins praised Wheeler for acting ethically at the agency and understanding its mission “unlike Scott Pruitt,” the former EPA chief who became mired in investigations of his spending and managing conduct. But she faulted Wheeler for halting efforts by President Barack Obama's administration to curb greenhouse gas emissions from automobiles and power plants.
Both senators cited the EPA's attempt to undo rules designed to limit emissions of mercury, which can damage the brains of infants and young children. As Manchin noted, “the industry doesn’t even support” that rollback.
Collins (R-ME) and Manchin (D-WV) each should change party affiliation. They aren't moderates, they are gutless cowards.
Defund the leftist-infested EPA.

EPA enforcement chief defends agency’s recordIt is “absolutely not true” that the agency is soft on polluters, says EPA’s enforcement chief Susan Bodine. The Republi-cons and special interest are in their sound proof booth To dismantle the EPA, while they pay to play and that’s the truth. Richard Nixon started the EPA, because the environment was a sewer Now action on pollution, pesticides and climate change, is just a rumor. Pollution. “Those murdering raping foreigners haven’t stolen an environment on Our watch!!!!”

Will An Appeals Court Make The EPA Ban A Pesticide Linked To Serious Health Risks?EPA scientists recommended a total ban on the pesticide chlorpyrifos. But in 2017, Trump's EPA administrator at the time decided against that. Now, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will decide whether to make the agency ban it. We're so behind other countries who have already determined that their citizens' health should come before profit. Let's hope the court gets it. But they just believe both sides of the dangerous chemicals science. tRump’s “EPA” administrators are extremely not qualified for their job description. Compare it to El Chapo heading the DEA. We don’t have an EPA within the tRump administration. It’s only use is for exploiting our environment for financial gain.
